Cookbook Heaven at Recipelink.com

For mint lovers, this combination is as good as dessert. On a hot day, try it iced, with limeade ice cubes. Some people prefer the snappier bite of peppermint to the smooth, mellow spearmint, so here, too, it's good to play around with several combinations to find your favorites.

2 teaspoons fresh or 1 teaspoon dried chocolate mint
2 teaspoons fresh or 1 teaspoon dried orange mint
2 teaspoons fresh or 1 teaspoon dried spearmint

Cover the herbs with 6 cups of simmering water. Let steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Serve warm or iced.
